Since we're talking about Japanese stuff, and since I can't remember if I said that already...
I picked up the Battle Royale novel while I was in Vancouver. Its (English) translation, of course. I really like the movie... I'm not into violent stuff at all, but I like it for different reasons, the commentary, the Japanese-ness of it, it's hard to say.
The novel that inspired the movie is huge. I can't wait to read it.
Right now though, I'm reading Twilight Zone short stories. Some are awesome, some are "meh". I'll watch the corresponding episodes afterwards, it's always interesting to see how things get adapted.
Apologies for the quality, it was all moving around, and a little smoky, and my mum was on the camera!
[cool pictures]
See if you can guess which one voices the daleks/cybermen/judoon!
There was alot more going on, but alot of the photos were too blurry. The Weeping Angels was amazing, and the way they were done was fantastic.
Okay, that looks like it was awesome. Once again, I wish I lived in England.
I'm working on making Mildly Disturbing Halloween Masks! I've finished the BLU Spy, BLU Medic, and RED Scout. I'm working on the RED Sniper and after that is BLU Soldier. I won't know if I need to do any more until more people confirm that they're coming next weekend and tell me what costume they'll have.
I also need to make a tiny Sniper disguise mask to put on a bottle of maple syrup to stand in for our BLU Sniper friend who lives in Canada.
So, to begin my descent into strange fiction and abnormal tales this month, I've decided to delve into these strange works-
By David Lynch- >Apparently a huge influence on Grickle and Puzzle Agent.
Twin Peaks >Looks like a very obvious influence on Puzzle Agent. The pilot is amazing and foreboding.
Eraserhead >I'm wary on this one as I heard it involves something very disgusting.
Lost Highway >This scene got me interested in it.
Muholland Dr. >I know nothing about this but it's David Lynch month!
Dune >Don't care about Dune but it's David Lynch month!
By Junji Ito- >A Japanese mangaka I read an incredible horror story by once. Now I'm interested to read some of his more famous works.
Tomie >Apparently his most famous story and...that's all I know.
Uzumaki >Compared to Lovecraft's stories.
Gyo >I don't know anything about this one but the title alone sounds nasty.
Misc. Manga- >I'm really wary on these because they sound NASTY but...
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni >Didn't interest me until I found out it involves (spoilers)
the groundhog day time loop
.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni >Interests me more than Higurashi because I love Victorian Mansions and the villain isn't a loli.
Other Films-
A Nightmare on Elm Street series >Watched the first one and found it hilarious.
I have recently played a small freeware game called Eversion. It was an interesting journey. Now, I would like, if possible, to see other's reactions to it. If anyone wants to, please play through the game (it's only about an hour long, a bit longer if you get stuck on an obstacle/try to get all the gems) and have some way of documenting it, whether it would be notes, a Youtube video and voiceover, or a Livestream with chat. No one has to do this, but the game is quite... interesting. Two rules:
1.You must NOT know anything about the game before playing.
2.You, as previously stated, must have some way of documenting your reaction to the game as you go along.
One more thing: Don't play this game if you are under 13/have a nervous disposition.
I might record myself playing it at some point, then. I've been looking to do something like this for my new website, and this sounds perfect. I may not do it, but if I do I'll post a link.

Play it. It would be the first video made for the Challenge. Also, the new Challange page is in my sig.
Okay, that looks like it was awesome. Once again, I wish I lived in England.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, they're filming two episodes over their this year.
Anyway, we just took my car out for a drive (it's my first car, I haven't passed yet), and the handbrake light kept beeping, along with a top light.... Scary.

I just found out about that today. I need to schedule a road trip to Utah now.
it's funny when people say there's no more racism.
I was there. It was hilarious. This is what happens when you live in the South - it's an awful place to be openminded/multicultural/pro-diversity/even mildly against the status quo.

I love how it's perfectably acceptable to be racist towards Americans. Now go scratch your fat arses with your guns
Umineko no Naku Koro ni >Interests me more than Higurashi because I love Victorian Mansions and the villain isn't a loli.
I hope you mean the visual novel and not the anime/manga. It's pretty much agreed by everyone that the anime is a really bad adaptation, and even though the manga is not bad, only the first episode is finished and all of the others (2-4 and soon 5 and 6 too) are running simultaniously IIRC (well, at least they'll finish everything faster this way I guess). Oh, and if you worry about violence, the anime is censored, the way the manga shows some of the deaths IS quite gruesome (episode 1's first twilight made me unable to sleep that night .___.), and unless you're going to buy the PS3 version the visual novel doesn't really show any of the gore other than a generic black background with blood on it or something similar so it'd all depend on your imagination. Also, I don't really know if I'd call that last statement of yours right, evil lolis do appear >.>
Oh, and the visual novel's soundtrack is simply amazing btw.

We were amongst the first in.
Ben Foster, Series Composer

Flying Dalek (the picture doesn't do it justice)
See if you can guess which one voices the daleks/cybermen/judoon!

My crayons are getting dull.

Look, I've only been to McDonald's ONCE this month and my only gun is an AK. I think you're just stereotyping...
...and doing a damn good job of it.
The wife said I stereotype all the time, in between her beatings of course
also I looked at my last post, what the hell is "perfectably"?
Perfectably is like perfect... but more perfect.
I thought you knew... No one told you?
Right here, dude.
Edit: NINJA'd BY CAPTAIN OBLIVIOUS!
he just disappeared out of no where and the bio-hazard is on the loose
we need to stop "the villain" (wait! you went to mars and did not take me!)

Please, you couldn't beat a comatose toddler. Wait... that's not funny.
1.he calls himself "the villain"
2.he keeps correcting me
3.he has teamed up with ringmasterj5
I called him the villain. HE called himself The Biohazard.
You do need a lot of correcting, to be fair. Look at how you type.
what about answer 3
